CHINCH BUGS.

Prof. Forbes, state entomologist of Illi-
nois in a circular recently issued, gives
few points in regard to the protection
of crops from chinch bugs, which will be
of interest to Wisconsin farmers. He
says: es
If the chinch bugs infest fields of small
grain this spring in numbers not abso-
lutely overwhelming, the broadcast ap-.
plicalion of the quick, stimulating fertil-
izers is earnestly recommended. This
will not enly support the wheat against
insect attack, but will also, by promoting
the more luxurious growth of the vegeta-
tion, supply conditions of shade and moist
ure unfavorable to the increase of the
bugs. Experiments will be made from
this Office with the following formula,
and it is also recommended, especially to
the farmers of Southern Illinois, for trial:
One hundred pounds each of nitrate of
soda, superphosphute, and muriate of
suiphate of potash to be thoroughly mix
ed and sown at the rate of from $50 to
800 pounds to the acre, The mixture cost
ing from So to 50 so per hundred An
OIuOl iCItiliAOi willy VI tildl ID CuGdp
salt, 100 to 200 pounds to the acre, cost
ing less than l cent pound Where
corn-felds adjacent to small grain are
liable to invasion at harvest time, the
early entrance of the chinch bugs may
probably be prevented by sowing lime
freely along the edge of the field.
In his investigation, the professor has
found large numbers of the bugs in 10
calities where much damage was done last
year, and if they succeed in breeding in
the small grain this spring they will oc-
casion great loss. He also says that the
weather of winter and spring has been
favorable to them, and no serious con-
tagious disease or other natural check up
on their multiplication has been detected.

Suggestions for Progressive Farmers Who
Wish to Experiment with Vetches.

Suggestions for Progressive Farmers VINO
Wish to Experiment. with Vetches.
It is probable the best English va
riety, the Gore vetch, has never had a
fair trial in the United States, for in
all cases it is far superior to the other
spring kinds, and is relished by ami
mails more than peas or any other for
age crop. In England this spring
vetch follows the old-fashioned winter
variety, the latter being sowed gener-'
ally with rye, two bushels of each,
about August, when they become very
thick and forward, giving great bulk
for feeding through the next May. The
Gore, mixed with oats, is sown as soon
as the land can be prepared in spring,
and gives an immense crop for follow
ing the winter vetches and rye, and
will last through June. Horses are
exceedingly fond of vetches, and those
not used for fast riding or driving
are fed freely with them, but the farm
ers fold their sheep and feed great
quantities, which enables them to NOW
more grass for hay.
After the vetches are eaten, the land
is cultivated for the root crops swedes
and turnips-thus taking two crops,
and eating them, where formerly a
naked fallow came.
Gentlemen who like trying expert
ments can readily obtain the seed
through any of the reliable agricult-
ural seedsmen. When in full bloom
and until the pods are filling, animals
thrive the best upon them. If eaten
before the blossom shows, they are too
relaxing, and if fed when nearly ripe,
the pods and top ends will be eaten,
and the stems near the ground rejected.
